As the conversation has gone on to:
How far can you coast down a mountain pass?
The implication is that Aptera is telling the world horrible lies and that their test vehicle came to a screeching halt in no more than 3 feet!???
WhatTF's that all about!?

Personally I think a 'In both directions' coast down test is a good indicator of improvements in aero + rolling resistance efficiency (at a constant weight) and it's a wonder there is not a whole lot more of it going on around here!?

As aero drops off to insignificant at around... what? 25 mph; shouldn't 75 to 25 mph coast down distance be a useful metric on Ecomodder?
